lyrics

A jaded young man, dealt a hard hand in life
Friends disappeared a long time ago
Medicating through narcotics and liquor
An untimely end draws ever nearer
The young man yearns for meaning in life
Living each day with ball and chain
Never respected, forever rejected
The time bomb will detonate one day

Trapped, with no escape
Tortured internally

Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate

He's approached by a group one day
They will give him purpose, they claim
Rid the young man of misery, make him an equal on their journey
He's overwhelmed and captivated
Meaning at last, a chance to be accepted
No more self loathing and misery
The young man is overjoyed and willing

Trapped, with no escape
Tortured internally

Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate

39 people would meet their fate
Down there in Heaven's Gate
Men and women, young and old
Blindly doing what they were told

Trapped, with no escape
Tortured internally

Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate

about

Armstrong Gun Horley, UK

Harking back to the early 80s New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Armstrong Gun is a powerhouse trio that bring riff-laden songs with catchy melodies. First started in 2018 Horley, Surrey by like-minded friends playing heavy blues material, a line-up change steered the direction of the band to a more focused New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal sound.

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker
